It’s no secret given the multitude of recent announcements: Accor has made lifestyle and very high-end products the spearheads of its development. A strategy deployed around the world, but which also materializes in Paris, where, paradoxically, the luxury offer of the French group is relatively underdeveloped, the Royal Monceau and four Sofitels excepted.
These establishments will be joined in 2022 by the Maison Delano hotel, new urban concept of this lifestyle brand present in Miami and Las Vegas. Developed by the American group SBE, recently taken over by Accor, this five-star brand now intends to be available in the main city centers of the world, starting with the prestigious 8th arrondissement Parisian.
At 4 rue d’Anjou, a few steps from rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Maison Delano will take place in an 18th century mansion currently housing the Buddha Bar Hotel. For the occasion, the establishment will be renovated next year to present an aesthetic advertised as luxurious and refined with ” a majestic lobby, a splendid interior courtyard and rooms as bright as they are imbued with serenity. »
The lifestyle dimension of the hotel will be reinforced by the catering offer, one of the strengths of the SBE group. The future Maison Delano will thus welcome a new concept of bar-restaurant aroundgastronomic and mixological experiences imagined by chef Dani Garcia. The restaurant and bar will be located in the historic courtyard of the building.
The result of a partnership between Accor and Katara Hospitality, the hotel will also have 56 rooms and suites. « Katara Hospitality aims to bring together a selection of unique and first-rate, handpicked hotels in major destinations around the world. Said Andrew Humphries, Managing Director of Katara Hospitality. ” Symbol of the evolution of the Delano brand, the Maison Delano Paris hotel will offer incomparable stays in the heart of one of the most beautiful metropolises in the world. Commented Gaurav Bhushan, Managing Director of Accor’s Lifestyle Division.

Rome, sole object of their assent. Some of the finest luxury and lifestyle hotel pennants have all made an appointment in the Italian capital. Last announcement to date, and not the least, Accor will give life to an Orient Express project, a legendary name operated in partnership with SNCF for the development of exclusive hotels, the first hotel of which will open in Bangkok this year.
For the occasion, the brand will bring new impetus to one of the city’s historic sites, the Grand Hotel de la Minerve. “Le Minerve is not only a hotel, but a cornerstone of Italian hospitality. Pursuing its history and its role is a mission that we hope to continue”, Describes Paolo Barletta, CEO of Arsenale Spa, property manager partner of the Billi family, which currently operates the hotel.
Neighboring the Pantheon and housed in a 17th century residence, the establishment will close its doors in 2022 for 20 months of work. Its reopening is expected around Christmas 2023 once it has been transformed into the canons of the Orient Express brand. “This hotel will be an extraordinary addition to the collection of prestigious hotels that we are targeting”, Said Sébastien Bazin, CEO of Accor.
While the French group had already presented last year the new face of the Sofitel Villa Borghese, redecorated by Jean-Philippe Nuel, Accor will continue its Roman dolce vita, not only with its luxury brands, but also with its new lifestyle division. One Mama Shelter is in fact expected next May near Vatican City with 217 rooms on the program, as well as a rooftop and a summer garden, in addition to a restaurant supervised by chef Jean Edern Hurstel.
Still in this segment, Ennismore, an Accor partner with the common ambition of developing the world’s leading player in lifestyle hotels, will open a new hotel, The Hoxton, next spring. Expected last year in the district of Salario, near the Villa Borghese, its opening had been postponed, covid obliges. With 192 rooms, this tenth hotel of the brand revisits a building dating from the 1970s in a contemporary place, with bar and restaurant, outdoor terrace and meeting spaces based on the Apartment concept of meetings.
While the Italian hotel industry retains an often family and independent character, a new hotel wave is sweeping over Rome. Among the pioneers of the upscale and trendy trend, the W brand will set up in the second quarter near Via Condotti and its fashion boutiques. Spread over two adjacent 19th century buildings, the hotel will offer 159 rooms and suites, a rooftop bar and a culinary offer by Michelin-starred chef Ciccio Sultano. On the same niche, an nhow, from the NH Hotels group, is also announced, its setting iconoclastically revisiting the imperial history of the city with, as decorative elements, august colored statues and a revised and corrected Vespa in an antique tank.
However, more than lifestyle, it is the luxury that is about to hold a forum in the Italian capital with a host of new openings which, in addition to the Orient Express already mentioned, will join local glories. These include the Grand Hotel, launched in its time by Cesar Ritz and now under the St Regis brand, the Eden hotel of the Dorchester Collection, the Hassler – a Leading Hotel -, but also the two palaces of the Rocco Forte Collection – the Hotel de Russie and Hotel de la Ville – or the Waldorf-Astoria and its three-star restaurant, the Pergola.
In this already competitive framework, the future Bulgari hotel, expected next year, has the modest ambition of being “The most luxurious ever built in Rome« , according to Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of the jeweler. Facing two of Rome’s most iconic sites, the Ara Pacis and the Mausoleum of Emperor Augustus, the place – a modernist building from the 1930s – will be reinterpreted in a contemporary way by architects Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel.
Another historic building in the city, the former headquarters of the central bank of Italy, on Parliament Square, is also being converted into a luxury hotel under the aegis of the Corinthia group in partnership with the investor Rueben Brothers. ” Our goal is to create there the most beautiful luxury hotel in Rome“Said Jamie Rueben.
There is no shortage of Roman ambitions… They will rub shoulders with others, such as those of the IHG group which is preparing to open two establishments at the end of this year. Six Senses luxury resort brand to open in Rome one of its first urban hotels end of 2021 in San Marcello square. For the occasion, it will integrate the walls of an 18th century Baroque palace to endow them with 95 rooms and suites, a spa and a restaurant, an outdoor courtyard with garden and a terrace on the roof, but also a terrace for events.
In addition to this predominantly leisure hotel, the British group will affix in the fourth quarter its InterContinental pennant brand on the current Rome Ambasciatori Palace. Located on the emblematic Via Veneto, this establishment which was in its time, at the beginning of the 20th century, the building welcoming the ambassadors who stayed in Rome, before becoming the library of the Embassy of the United States, then a hotel thirty years ago, will include 160 rooms and suites and will be crowned by a panoramic terrace.

The hotel branch of Turenne Groupe has just bought the Citotel Pax hotel restaurant in Strasbourg with the desire to develop a lifestyle concept there.
The Pax is an independent 3-star hotel and has 70 rooms, a restaurant, a lounge bar, large common areas, a 160 square meter conference area that can be converted into a meeting room, and a car park. The new acquisition of Turenne Hôtellerie is located in the historic center of Strasbourg, a strategic location for both business and leisure customers. Alexis de Maisonneuve, investment director of Turenne Hôtellerie, is counting on these elements for the success of the project, but also on “the performance of the Strasbourg hotel market”.
In order to achieve its objective of transforming its new establishment into a lifestyle concept, Turenne Hôtellerie has planned a modernization of the place and wishes to transform the hotel. The group announces that it wants to create “a real place of life, meeting and sharing”. The aim is to bring people together after a difficult period due to the health crisis.
Le Pax is the second establishment in the Eurometropolis of Strasbourg, after the Hotel Rohan, which is located near the Notre Dame de Strasbourg Cathedral and ranks in the mid-range segment. It will be managed by Gianni Facchini, former deputy general manager of Mama Shelter Paris West. The latter confirms the new lifestyle trend wanted by Turenne Hôtellerie by speaking of a desire to “breathe a breath of modernity into Pax”.
This acquisition confirms Turenne Groupe’s desire to develop its hotel portfolio. The group is indeed a major player in private equity in France and currently manages more than 1.2 billion euros.

Razer has just launched new smart and versatile glasses that not only protect the eyes but also offer audio immersion for working from home or on the go, here are the Razer Anzu.
While the season is more conducive to the release of new smartphones, Razer has just formalized not a new keyboard or a new mouse but new connected glasses. This choice of product reflects this new direction that Razer has been taking for some time. More lifestyle, more discreet in its design choices, we find these new lines as on the Razer Opus headphones or the Hammerhead Pro headphones.
With the spread of teleworking, the primary function of Razer Anzu is to protect your eyes from the harmful light of screens typically. Thus, the glasses installed by default can filter no less than 35% of blue light to protect screen lights and reduce visual fatigue to better enjoy devices. For outdoor activities, the Razer Anzu can accommodate included polarized lenses to protect the eyes from 99% of UVA / UVB. In addition, in partnership with Lensabl, the user of the Razer Anzu benefits from a 15% discount on corrective lenses.
But that’s not all, the Razer Anzu are Bluetooth 5.1 and offers a latency of 60ms. Why ? Quite simply because the Razer Anzu offers small speakers capable of projecting sound directly onto the user’s ears, which makes it possible to enjoy the sound of multimedia content without disturbing those around them. In addition, there is an omnidirectional microphone for hands-free communications with the smartphone.
On the autonomy side, Razer Anzu offer an autonomy of 5 hours in a single charge. When the glasses are folded, the glasses switch off automatically to conserve the battery. According to Razer, the Razer Anzu offer up to two weeks of standby time. Everything will depend on the end use. On each of the branches there is a touch-sensitive surface which allows you to change the music track, read or pause multimedia content, manage conference calls and activate the smartphone’s voice assistant. All this can be configured from the applications iOS/Android dedicated.
And finally to finish, the Razer Anzu offer two distinct designs and for each of the designs, two sizes, S / M and L. They are IPX4 certified and are therefore splash resistant. The Razer Anzu come with a cleaning cloth and a carrying case for the additional frame and lenses.
Available today, count 209.99 euros. The replacement lenses will be sold at a price of 34.99 euros.

Mizuno continues on its way to find a place in the lifestyle universe. Two years ago, the Japanese group had initiated a shift in its strategy until then solely focused on sport-performance. At the time, only a few ultra-sharp collaborations were carried out with around fifteen premium points of sale around the world (Patta, Club75, Foot Patrol) under the code name Kuzoku. The lifestyle ambition therefore materialized in 2019 with the launch of an interpretation of its Wave Rider running model intended for sneaker enthusiasts. The brand was then aiming for entry into 200 points of sale in France.
“We are present in more than 150 points of sale today, explains Nicolas Hope, who heads the French structure of the Japanese group. We are not completely on target, but 2020 has been a very special year. And we have received a very good reception. We are still very young in the lifestyle, but I see that the moment is right. The dealers tell us they expect new actors, new concepts. We benefit from the history of Mizuno, from the excellent reputation for performance and shoe enthusiasts know us. All our models come from our history in performance sports. “
Latest achievement: the collaboration with the artist Hajime Sorayama who interpreted the Wave Prophecy model. Offered in a selection of stores on February 6, the model offered at 300 euros was quickly out of stock. For the brand, this collaboration, which will be followed by a Sorayama2, provides a premium proposition for sharp sneaker stores. “Kozaku is in a way the haute couture approach of our offer. These are very specific products, explains Nicolas Hope. There, the approach is to reach a wider target with dozens of stores. These collaborations are very thoughtful. and very charted by the teams in Japan. The artistic work of Hajime Sorayama is very oriented on robotics. On the model, he exploited the carbon fiber. It makes sense because we will soon be releasing carbon prostheses for athletes High level handisport. It was interesting to symbolize this through collaboration “.
The next major collaboration will have a French accent. In April, it is with the independent store and Parisian prescriber Shinzo that Mizuno will join forces. An approach that allows the brand to develop in specialized stores. But it is also making progress in multi-sports networks, which are also lifestyle outlets. The brand thus entered the sneaker departments of certain Intersport and Sport 2000.
“We have worked with our performance sales force, which is familiar with these networks to offer our first models in stores hybrid between sport and lifestyle, explains the French manager. We have reached an agreement for a test over the first two seasons. the level of sell-out convinced them to continue the adventure. “In order to push development, the brand not used to advertising campaigns even chose to develop murals and invest in commercial marketing.
So the France team is expecting a rise in lifestyle. While the segment represented 5% of the brand’s sales in 2020, it expects 7% in 2021, all in double-digit growth in Mizuno’s French activity. Because the performance component also displays a good dynamic.
“At the start of 2020, we were in a great dynamic, underlines Nicolas Hope. And when the pandemic arrived and everything closed it was a tragedy. Everywhere there was a wind of panic the first days. We wondered how we were was going to be able to survive. Finally, of course, we reacted on the productions to come. But we were careful without giving in to panic. We decided to reduce our production by 10%. reopened, we quickly understood that the consumer was going to be present, especially for running which saw new practitioners arrive “. The brand, which offers an offer between 90 and 200 euros, has set up the tools to get in touch with them in physical points of sale, at running specialists, but also on online sales platforms that have seen their attendance explode in 2020.
On February 5, the Japanese group presented its quarterly results. For the first nine months of its staggered fiscal year, Mizuno saw its overall sales decline by 13% compared to the same period a year earlier to 840 million euros; including 80 million in the EMEA zone. An area managed by Mitsuhiro Okamoto and whose headquarters have been located in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands since the beginning of January. A structure which should make it possible to delegate operations to new subsidiaries on European markets by 2020
In France, a subsidiary in charge of operations in France is already active, and it claims a moderate decline in its sales compared to 2019. And, despite the notable drop in its sales of products for judo or sports such as handball and volleyball, expect an increase of 10% in 2021. Remains an unknown. Will the Tokyo Olympics take place? For the Japanese brand, the meeting was important in terms of visibility and dynamism. If the holding of the Olympic event is confirmed from July 23 to August 8, the rise could even be more substantial.

. She shares the keys to her balance that she says she has found, in particular by writing this book …
“I have always given very good advice to my loved ones but between giving it and applying it, it’s not the same thing! I imbibed the sentences I wrote and I finally applied my good advice . I had left to write a book for others and the first person that transformed was me! I was told that I am more calm, different … “, she tells us.
“My book is divided into three parts, to preserve / protect his body, his heart and his mind. In terms of the body, I am a vegetarian and I have been doing sports for a long time so there are no worries. On the other hand, I am anxious by nature, the relationship with others is not always easy for me, I do not always feel in the right place, I lack confidence… I had to work at the level of the heart and the mind. the world has for mission to know who he really is. In this book, I give some avenues of reflection. Today, because of the crisis we are going through and the many questions, I think it is timely “, she continues.
Misses and well-being This is not the first time that a Miss has written on this theme of well-being. Laury Thilleman (Miss France 2011) is a master in the field with365 days at the TOP!
.
“The difference with the books that have already been made is that they have not approached this mystical aspect like the principle of the guardian angels … Basically all that is intangible. This esoteric part has not yet been treated, I had it in me for a very long time and I had never dared to talk about it. “
Delphine Wespiser is authentic and the world of the Misses did not necessarily suit her. “Very quickly, I left. I returned to my region, I am very countryside, very terroir … I have this authenticity which made me out of step and I suffered from it for a long time. I understand today that I took a path that was different. Staying on this path was not possible, I listened to my differences. Today, I enjoy meeting the different Misses. I found my balance and my wisdom. ” The ex-Miss is also present on television sets: Blanche in Fort Boyard for ten seasons, host on an Alsatian channel, columnist at Cyril Hanouna … “Two years ago, I was already a columnist at Do not touch My TV

I had left to write a book for others and the first person that transformed was me! I was told that I am more calm, different … “, she tells us.
“My book is divided into three parts, to preserve / protect his body, his heart and his mind. In terms of the body, I am a vegetarian and I have been doing sports for a long time so there are no worries. On the other hand, I am anxious by nature, the relationship with others is not always easy for me, I do not always feel in the right place, I lack confidence… I had to work at the level of the heart and the mind. the world has for mission to know who he really is. In this book, I give some avenues of reflection. Today, because of the crisis we are going through and the many questions, I think it is timely “, she continues.
Misses and well-being This is not the first time that a Miss has written on this theme of well-being. Laury Thilleman (Miss France 2011) is a master in the field with365 days at the TOP!
.
“The difference with the books that have already been made is that they have not approached this mystical aspect like the principle of the guardian angels … Basically all that is intangible. This esoteric part has not yet been treated, I had it in me for a very long time and I had never dared to talk about it. “
Delphine Wespiser is authentic and the world of the Misses did not necessarily suit her. “Very quickly, I left. I returned to my region, I am very countryside, very terroir … I have this authenticity which made me out of step and I suffered from it for a long time. I understand today that I took a path that was different. Staying on this path was not possible, I listened to my differences. Today, I enjoy meeting the different Misses. I found my balance and my wisdom. ” The ex-Miss is also present on television sets: Blanche in Fort Boyard for ten seasons, host on an Alsatian channel, columnist at Cyril Hanouna … “Two years ago, I was already a columnist at Do not touch My TV

“Astrology is neither a belief, nor a religion. It is a system at the same time astronomical, psychological and forecasting”, tells the author Sasha Fenton in his book on astrology
.

1 / The real astrology is not that of the magazines … True astrology is that built on the birth chart of an individual calculated according to thedate , the lieuand thetime of birth
. So not just on the day of birth! The birth chart is a snapshot of the solar system as the individual is born.
“Knowing your birth chart is one way to be aware of how we see ourselves and how we feel,” it says in the book. The goal: to better understand oneself and better understand others.
In summary, the planets affect our daily lives.
2 / The symbols of the zodiac signs have changed
The symbol of Aries was once ruled by a goose and was also called a sheep or goat. Capricorn was once ruled by a crocodile and Scorpio by an eagle, the book reads.
3 / A sign of the zodiac, an element Each sign of the zodiac belongs to the fire (efficiency and speed), the terre(slowness), the air(talk and analyze) and the water(in feelings). For example, the P oisson belongs to water when the Lion
belongs to fire.
4 / The ascendant is not trivial
It can influence a person’s appearance, their way of being and their behavior. It says a lot about the youth and childhood of an individual. Our nature is defined by our solar and lunar signs and the planets.
5 / Elements and health are linked

The University of Tsukuba, a city in central Japan, developed a ball-blocking robot after the women’s volleyball team’s bronze medal at the London Olympics in 2012, their first Olympic medal since 1984. The goal was to train them even more intensely to prepare them for future competitions, now that they had once again demonstrated their potential. Smaller in size on average than their opponents around the world, the Japanese needed regular training to know how to play against taller opponents, especially the attackers, stuck under the net and ready to block in a second.
As an article by What’s Up Japan, although the robot was designed by a team of engineers from the University of Tsukuba, led by Hiroo Iwata, the original idea for the machine did not come from them. It was Masayoshi Manabe, a former volleyball player and coach of the women’s team when they won the 2012 Olympic Games, who one day stumbled upon a goalie robot while watching a popular show on local television. Puzzled, he wonders if he can adapt the idea to a volleyball net. The challenge is considerable. “It’s hard enough to make a robot walk, but then create a robot capable of blocking a ball like a world-class athlete with 95% reliability? Technologically, this is an extremely complex request, ”Hiroo Iwata told What’s Up Japan. The machine also had to be accessible, understandable and usable for athletes and coaches, a far cry from the technological knowledge of engineers. Important discussions were held with this in mind to make the machine usable.
And here is the result: a machine nine meters wide, with three pairs of arms that can slide very quickly over the entire width of the net and extend their arms up to 3.2 meters high. Ultimately, the success will be such that the length of the arms will even be increased tenfold so that male players can also rub shoulders with this robotic opponent. Controlled by a tablet, the robot has a database containing an infinite number of real game situations, and adapts its movements accordingly. An infinity of counter scenarios is therefore possible. The next step for Hiroo Iwata is to be able to fully automate the machine, without the intervention of the coaches, to be able to improvise blocks in a game situation that is more “fluid” and “natural” than a simple training.

The German group Ruby Hotels completes its offer on its original soil. The lifestyle brand has just opened a new hotel in Frankfurt in addition to those in Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Münich, as well as in Vienna, to complete those established in the German-speaking area. ” Frankfurt as a financial hub is a prime location for Ruby and a logical step in our development.t ”, commented Michael Struck, founder and CEO of the Ruby Hotels group. As always, the German chain has chosen a first name to baptize its establishment; that of Louise in this case, in tribute to Louise von Rothschild, wife of a 19th century banker very involved in charitable works and the life of the city.
Located in the heart of Frankfurt, between the Alte Oper and Goetheplatz, with two metro stations nearby, the Ruby Louise is developing its concept of “Lean Luxury” in the business metropolis, combining high-end comfort, soft price and sharp design. For the occasion, Ruby Hotels is organizing the meeting of Biedermeier style and street art with, on one side, furniture representative of the art of living of the 19th century and, on the other, a giant fresco by the artist. of German street art Big Birne overlooking the lounge.
In addition to 215 rooms spread over eight floors, the hotel has a lounge, bar and café, but above all a rooftop of 400m2. A green oasis in the city center in the spirit of a typical garden of the Biedermeier period with many apple trees, pear trees, cherry trees and aromatic herb beds. ” Our Ruby Louise is ideally located in the new Junghof Plaza complex in the heart of the city, with a huge rooftop garden, which is open to all residents of Frankfurt“, Described Catherine Angulo, manager of the hotel.
After Frankfurt, other Rubys are in preparation with, as far as Germany is concerned, a hotel expected this year in Cologne and another in 2023 in Stuttgart. At the same time, the brand will make its debut in Switzerland, with an address in Zurich at the end of the year and another in Geneva next year. Finally, two Ruby hotels are also planned in London, in addition to the Ruby Lucy opened in early 2020.
